A statement is published to ttio effect that the Kusslan ambassador to Franco lias given assurance to that country that Russia will support Franco on all points involved in the Slamcso dlniculty. It Is further said that the Russian licet in Chinese waters is under orders to proceed to the Gulf of Slam for the purpose of sup porting the French and protecting the French residents of Slam. It is expected to arrive there soon. The statement that Russia has signified her intention to support Franco in her dis pute with Siam and that Russian war ships Vero now on the way to the Gulf of Slam was published in the I'otlt Journal , a liberal republican paper. A similar article appeared today in the Nation , a national newspaper. A dispatch received hero today from Hang- kok stated that the Slamcso court Is greatly agitated. Preparations are apparently under way for the departure of the king and tils court from thocapital. Reports of the inten tion of the king to leave IJangkok have spread among the population and have caused great excitement. The di.'pat-h adds that lfI I ? stated In Hanglcok that a popular agitation in favor of Franco has been started in the province of Hattanbang , some distance to the south of the capital , and that the troops have neen sent to put down the rising. The senate today passed unanimously a resolution approving in every respect the attitude of tlio government in tlio Slamcso affair. \Vlmt l-'riincfl Will Ho Sn.UIIrd With. Slam's reply to Franco's ultimatum is not expected to bo civen before Saturday night or Sunday. It is thought that in case the reply be unfavorable Rear Admiral lldtnann will await the arrival of M. Uevlllers , a special commissioner sent out by the French government , before taking final action. The Debats says this morning : "The loft bank of the Mekong river is the minimum of our claims. Afterwards wo must obtain a footing on the right bank , and such a de limitation of the frontier as will provontany conflict in the future. These are questions tu be settled directly with Slam. They do not concern England. " I'iiiKlnml'a PoHltlon. LONDON , July -0. Further questions wore asked in the House of Commons today in re gard to tlio Siamese troubles. Sir Edward Gray , parliamentary secretary of the foreign office , replied in behalf of the government. Ho repeated the events that have occurred n Siam since the relations between thai country and France have become strained , : md s.iid the Hritish government had neither such sufficient or precise information as would enable it to form a conclusiou as tt the merits of the conflict. Sir Hdward nddec tunt the only part of the French ultimatum to Siam which concerned Great liritain was that relating to territorial arrangements be tween Franco and Siam. Tlio government had determined to send Lord DuiTcrin , the Hritish ambassador to France , back to Paris with a view to securing an immediate ex change of views with the French govern nient on this point. The matter would be conducted m tin amicable spirit. A special cabinet meeting was summoned n Downing street this afternoon. There was a full attendance. Franco's demands 01 Siam were discussed at length and eventually instructions lor Lord Dufferin were forum lated and approved. Immediately after the meeting tlio earl of Rosobery , secretary estate state for foreign affairs , communicated with the Admiralty as regards the disposition o tlio fleet in Asiatic waters. Hun Not n I'liclllc Look. Lute in the afternoon special orders were dispatched by tlio Admiralty to Vice Admira Fremantle , eoinmamlor-in-eliiof of the Chinese division of the fleet. These facts together witli the cancellation of Lori DnlTerin's leave of absence , are regarded as hardly in harmony with the olllcial predictions dictions of a perfectly amicable settlomen with France of the Siamese diftlculty. ICvei if not alarmed by the course of Franco tin government is believed toreall/.o thoHtamesi alTair is fraught with most serious possi bilitles for which immediate preparations must be made by Great Britain.
